I'm not into binding to Textboxes just yet so I can't answer from that perspective. I usually put this whereever I'm populating my controls, Leave Event, etc. I would avoid putting it in the KeyPress event (It's not pretty.). Others (more experienced developers) may have better suggestions. I don't believe there is a direct correlation to VFP's InputMask except in grids (DefaultCellStyle, etc). This was the closest I found.
